Cloudy in a.m. fog. I washed, done up my work. Went down to the Cemetery. Billie worked all day. I got supper. Fern, Lloyd came up. I got my suitcases ready. Kennie and Dot up.

 Monday, November 14, 1964

A beautiful day which we have been waiting for for about five months. I got my permanent, went to town on business. Came home and Fern had a delicious chicken supper we ate, then we began to get ready. I am sure excited today. We got ready and Betty took a picture. I kissed them all goodbye and poor Carmen was crying.

Tuesday, September 15, 1964 TODAY WE LANDED IN SCOTLAND

What a new life I have lived today. It began last night when we walked out of our home at 5 PM. On our way to Boston, boarded the train at 10:30 PM, rode all night and what a beautiful plane. Nice smooth ride. Ate twice. Landed at Shannon. Got off for a short time than back on and off to Dublin, then we went to Glasgow. There we met George and Betty. In evening off to see Peg, Beat and their families.
